Naively believing the PDF documentation, I assumed I had a 4GB SD card
(it appears to be 128MB) and before doing anything else, I backed up
(rsync) the card on my brand spanking xM, and then ran through the
steps to install Ubuntu.
So I probably screwed up the card. But I restored it (rsync again).
I plugged in a HDMI-DVI cable and a 3A 5V PSU to make it work.
Still, before I modified the card, since, and no matter what I do, all
that happens when I turn the thing on is: no action on the video card,
and all I get over the serial port is:
....60....................................................
I've got a powered USB hub and a keyboard and mouse plugged in, and
they don't do anything either (eg no caps lock key light).
This seems a basic question, but if this is answered somewhere, well,
the signal:noise ratio has defeated me in searching for it.
Advice?
